you been out, round, all over town

baby that’s what i hear

when i ring phone, nobody home

baby that’s what i fear

many a boy’s got your number

many boys know the lines

i’ve been away from you so long

is it just a matter of time

don’t leave me

don’t leave me this way

you told me love brings all of the things

to fill your wants and needs

but now you’re running, playing, all of the same

telling me that you were never pleased

well i never broke no promise

but i’ve been breaking my bones

to give everything in the world to you

baby what’s going wrong

don’t leave me

don’t leave me this way

yeah my baby’s been gone for a long time

i said ah no ah no ah no baby

don’t leave me this way
